I’m hooked on an oddity called Chō Aniki atm. Blasts of fun! |
||||||||
|
|

Axelay, Salamander, blazing lasers, super parodius, star parodier, star soldier, the 194X series…. Lots of weird names I can’t rem. |

snes: pop´n Twinbee, fave for music and fun r-type3, fave graphics style and music axelay, overall greatness parodius, must have arcade: air assault, fave overall, graphics, music and gameplay raiden 2, dx, great music and gameplay x-multiply, gritty and organic graphics, cool ship played and own a lot more, so these are not just for novelty or the only ones i knew, these are very playable, mostly non-bullet-hell games with exceptional graphics and style. if you dont like evading and blasting your way, however, that what shmups are all about. |

two days ago i played gyruss on my arcade cabinet and crossed over to scrolling shmups. today i revisited the unfinished shmups i built on, before i built my cabinet. shame i prolly never get to finish em like i wanted to. ah well at least couple of levels are playable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

battle garega, just finished on 20ish credits, very playable, did levels 1-3 on 1 credit, cool enemy patterns, lots of fast bassline and overall good music. hard to see the good graphics on this, and, im not a bullet hell type, but i liked how my mind is blank from focusing on evading the shots. |

interesting how no one had ikaruga on his list so far, havent played it yet |

sorry, didnt quite understand that post and didnt bother to google, "blue on android", since i dont care about mobile games. but here we go. actually, yeah looks decent and could make me forget its on a mobile too, but no shmup. i couldnt give my 2 cents about analogue hardware issues, cause i dont own any either, just saying. but then i go off topic a lot and im happy over responses to that. |

I like the oldies. 1942, Time Pilot, Phoenix and Galaga '92. Like Belb, I think the music in Thunderforce IV is great. In other respects, I prefer Gynoug, probably my favourite Megadrive shooter. Russeldust: Be sure to check it out, I think it is the same Devs as Cho Aniki. SNES, I really like all the Parodius games I've played. Of the modern ones: I like, but don't love Deathsmiles. R-Type Final is pretty good. Ikaruga is a 9/10 game for me. There are a few PC indie abstract bullet hell ones by some amateur Japanese developer that someone here put me onto 15 years or so back, that I used to really like. |

Hey Pomme! Yep ibari, dodon… Yeah, Ceri I’ve played gynoug and love it. Cho aniki is also with flying people you control so I’m not surprised. Though cho aniki is tenfold more insane. Good shout out with thunder force IV. The third one is pretty great as well. |

I love the concept with Darius but I struggle to have fun. I rem playing it in the arcade in the 80s with my older brother and it felt so special. Loved played co-op with him on gauntlet also. Weirdly I suck a gradius but not at Parodius. |

Been enjoying Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, and Seirei Senshi Spriggan. |

Not just a shoot em up but I have to mention Three Wonders. Loved that so much and then took me 20 years to find the game coz I couldn’t remember the name. Sorry I can’t seem to lazy link from the phone anymore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Wonders |

They’re not all silly hard and often repetition and memory can work just as much as sheer skill. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but you can still suck on these kind of games i know people getting fits just by looking at them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
repetition and memory requires A LOT of time though with a game like garegga for example |
||||||||
|
|

i have to back really far, to commodore 64 times and early DOS and don't remember the names |

almost 40, gaming all my life but never really gave one of these a chance if anyone is kind enough tell me the very best one to buy on steam and I'll buy it during this steam sale |
||||||||

ikaruga is likely to be the most reputable on steam but it is pretty unique in its gameplay. maybe the darius series is for you, but i think the easiest approach would be: Sine Mora its a modern shmup that features nice graphics, doesnt overload the screen with bullets and enemies is fairly easy and has some cool boss fights. its not a pixel game though it is 2d. overall its a genre not really represented well on steam apart from a few really color popping over the top bullet hell games. like Mushihimesama and dodonpachi, which i wouldnt recommend as a first, but are still very popular. tbh, if you want a classic shmup experience you might be better off with an emulator and play arcade games like the 1942 series, air assault, raiden or a snes game like r-type3. or most of the other favourites people posted earlier. just pick one according to your graphics appeal, since its not just the gameplay its also the theme that takes you into this world. |

im curious about other poeples steam recommendations though. havent given any games a chance on there since i find most of the their featured graphics and style rather appalling and there are still lots of great shmups on consoles and emus left to play for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could also give deltazeal a try, looks very good to me. clean and decent pixel graphics, animated enemies look good. most closely resembles battle garegga, not the work of amateurs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i’d buy one on steam it would be crimzon clover |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
goodness gracious... whats with the stars!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it’s a lot of stars yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you could choose to play without them from the options |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is bullet hell games the same thing as shoot em ups? seems like an interesting game, anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not the same and even rather a tag for some games than a subgenre imo im not sure what kind of skill is needed for vampire survivors or if it is a skill relevancy at all, but i love the concept of being outnumbered against all odds. think it would be fun to set a record time instead of a time limit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i have an endless waves mode in one of the shmups i made and one of the reasons i didnt publish/post is i couldnt get the records into the html database. the other one is ages away from being finished simply because |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think bullet hells might be shmups imho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ikaruga: purchased. appreciate it! Yeah I used to work at a pizza place and we had one of these games on an arcade station in there. It was nested in a Mortal Kombat 1 cabinet, and I was always pissed we didn't have MK instead, that was my shit. I forget the name of the bullet hell game, but it was the only one I ever played. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wikipedia puts bullet hells as a subgenre of shoot 'em ups. i guess: they're the same and one more bullets, but i'm no expert so what i liked best about shoot 'em ups (i realized skimming through ) was upgrading your weapons systems. so this is where i mention what is also probably not a true shoot 'em up, but a (more recent) favorite: The Binding Of Isaac |
